Today I was clearing a few ex primals I hadn't done before (many many thanks to the people who joined my parties and helped) ☺️
In the wreath of snakes, (and I still can't tell if this was a real excuse or just a proper troll) we had a real issue with one of the tanks. He was either spinning the boss or standing it in odd places (at the towers, but not his tower) or facing the tethered add into everybody. Everyone was really nice and patient but we just kept getting stuck at the 2x cursekeeper tank swap and dying. The tank (who hadn't said anything throughout) just wasn't either shirking or provoking for the second cursekeeper. Everyone was really nice about it, with the other tank triple checking he was doing everything right.
After about the 5th fail (possibly more) the tank suddenly said his wife had just woken him up, and it hadn't been him playing and it was his 8 year old child playing. He apologised profusely and said to look at his gear you can see he knew how to do this. So we went back with him boasting it would be a quick clear now he was playing. He promptly messed up the first cursekeeper, said it was because he'd just woken up, then bailed ><
We got another tank and cleared first try
The rest of the party were of the opinion he was literally trolling us, but I've never met anyone who would put that amount of effort and time into it.
I wondered if anyone else had experienced anything similar?
